Application filed September 18, 1908. Serial No. 453,702.

To (1]? whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, J 0ST SCHNYDER and Lt'owio SCHXYDER, manufacturers, citizens of the Swiss Republic, residing at5l Moosmattstrasse, Lucerne, Switzerland, have invented a new and useful Portable and Transportable Cooking Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

T his invention relates to a portable cooking apparatus.

An object of an apparatus in which one or more receptacles containing the articles to be cooked are combined with a device for applying heat to these receptacles.

Another object of the invention is to dispose the receptacles for food with respect to the heating device so that they can be easily removed therefrom.

Another object of the invention is to dispose the receptacles for food with respect to the heating device so that they can be easily surrounded on all sides by the heating gas.

Another object of the invention is to provide means in the receptacles to permit conveyance of the heating gases from one of said receptacles to another without exerting 5% deltrimental influence upon the articles of ooc Another object of the invention is to provide a heating device comprising a plurality of easily movable burners which are disposed so that the member carrying the burner may be withdrawn entirely from the heating device.

\Vith these and other objects in view the invention is described in the following specification under reference to the accompany-' ing drawings and is more explicitly pointed out in and by the appended claim.

In the drawings :-Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through the entire cooking apparatus. Fig. 2 is a plan View of the same partly in section. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a portion of the apparatus especially adapted for regulating the draft in the heating device, certain parts being broken away for the sake of better illustration. Fig. at is a section through one of the burners and Fig. 5 is a plan top view of the same.

Like characters of reference designate similar parts throughout the different figures of the drawings.

The cooking apparatus illustrated by way of example in Fig. 1 comprises an outer casing 1 in which the receptacle containing the the invention is to provide food is suspended. This receptacle 2 is near its upper end provided with a plurality of handles 4 with which it engages the upper rim of the outer casing 1. By reference to the drawing it will be noted that the receptacle suspended from the outer casing is not in contact with the interior surface of the same. An interspace is provided between said receptacle for food and said outer cas ing so that the heating gases may surround said receptacle on the entire circumference. A second receptacle for food or a boiler is placed upon said first named receptacle. This receptacle 5 rests upon the upper rim of the lower receptacle 2 by means of a circumferential flange. A packing 6 may be inserted between said flange and the upper rim of the lower receptacle. A cover 7 serves as a closing means for the upper boiler 5 said cover resting upon the upper rim of the boiler and a packing ring 8 is inserted between the rim and said closing means. For the purpose of transmitting the vapors from the lower receptacle to the upper one a plurality of apertures 59 are provided in the bottom of the upper receptacle and from these apertures channels 28 extend upwardly in the upper receptacle 5, said channels being partly closed by means of hoods or sieves '29 at the upper end of the same. For the purpose of allowing the steam contained in the upper receptacle to escape when the pressure of the same exceeds a certain limit, a plurality of pockets 14: are fastened to the cover, said pockets being provided with apertures 15 in their bottoms. A plurality of apertures are provided in the cover itself registering with the apertures 15 and globe valves 16 are disposed in said pockets 1a which may be lifted by the pressure of the steam off their seats so that the steam may escape through the apertures in the cover. The steam escaping through these apertures is directed laterally by means of a plurality of cars 17 disposed on the top of the cover and adjacent to the apertures for the escape of the steam. A plurality of tension members, chains, cables, rods or such like indicated by the numeral 10 serve for maintaining the cover in closing position upon the upper receptacle. One end of-the tension members 10 is detachably connected at 13 with a portion of the outer casing. A plurality of spacing members 18 are provided in the interior of the outer casing and serve likewise to maintain the inner receptacle in a all so gli'ovidod t is in die position shown in in]! hues in 2 the flange will enga e said layer "when the plate 20 is partly LJUOYQQ from tiix and this ex'oi Wail H141 p event a:
